Could Your Medication Be Affecting Your Energy?

Stars and Stories: The Black Star Radio Podcast · May 7, 2026 · 2m

This week on Stars and Stories, Gerald Quigley explains why vitamin B12 is essential — and how some common medications may lower your levels.

Vitamin B12 plays a role in:

• Brain function and concentration

• Energy levels

• Nerve health

Certain medications, including those used for diabetes and reflux, can reduce B12 over time.

For some people, symptoms like low energy or poor focus may be linked — but go unnoticed.

Gerald’s advice is simple: if you’re on these medications, it’s worth checking your levels with your GP.
